Bogotá, June 16, 2015--Ecuador's state media oversight commission on Saturday fined the independent daily El Universo about US$350,000, accusing the paper of unsatisfactorily publishing a government rebuttal to a story, according to news reports.

Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa generated little actual news during a two-day trip to Chile last month. So Ecuador's four main newspapers did the obvious: They published short wire service dispatches about his visit.

That's how Juan Carlos Calderón, editor of the newsmagazine Vanguardia, described the June 28
closing of the newsweekly that for eight years published hard-hitting
investigations about public officials and faced frequent government harassment.
Yet the final days of Vanguardia were
almost as controversial as its stories.
